Most people think starting a business begins with paperwork — setting up an LLC or filing a business license. But that’s not starting a business. That’s formalizing one.
In this episode, Dale shares what starting up really means — how to test before you commit, get paid in stages, and protect yourself with smart, practical risk management.
🎯 You’ll Learn:
✅ Two quick rules of thumb for risk and protection
✅ What to do first if you live in a highly regulated area
✅ How to use “practical risk management” to avoid rookie mistakes
✅ The mindset shift from paperwork to proof of value
✅ Why your first customer matters more than your first LLC
✅ The five-step Test Before You Commit framework
